Proceeding contribution from Philip Hollobone (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 12 June 2008. It occurred during Topical debate on Dangerous Dogs.


Dangerous Dogs

There is much public concern about dangerous dogs and a parliamentary answer earlier this year revealed that 4,000 people a year are treated in hospital for dog bites. That is double the level of four years ago. I appreciate what the Minister is saying, but what is difficult about ensuring that people are held responsible and accountable for the behaviour of their animal?
